Inflammatory bowl disease relates to chronic inflammatory diseases in the intestines and impacts 3 million people in the United States. This article covers the genetic engineering of a form of e coli to be used for repair of these domains. See it here! nature.com/articles/s4146…

With advancements in genetic engineering, this article discusses the use of CRISPR dCAS and how as a new technology platform it can be applied to synthetic biology, imaging, and more. Check it out! #OSUBioe511 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

PCOS affects 1 in 10 women throughout the US and as therapy this article uses mesenchymal stem cells in attempt to restore fertility via metabolic rate. Check it out. #OSUBIOE511 stemcellres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

PCOS affects every one in ten women, and what this article implements transplantation of brown adipose tissue to increase circulation of adiponectin level. Check it out. #OSUBIOE511 pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107…

This article details the new development of a alternative human small intestine via the use of natural ECM and porcine small intestinal scaffolds. The model was created in vitro to overcome experimental setbacks used for drug delivery. #OSUBIOE511 liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.108…

While RGD is a commonly used peptide coating, over the years the results of cell adhesion using this peptide have been variable. This article highlights why there is variability among results as well as future applicational work. Check it out. #OSUBioe511 ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

This article discusses the various forms of regulated necrosis and including arising new mechanisms for cell death - understanding how these pathways are related can allow for potential therapy with regards to degenerative diseases! Check it out! nature.com/articles/nrm37…

Graduate Fellowships for STEM Diversity aims to diversify graduate student programs, both MS and PhD, in STEM majors specifically. This fellowship is meant to aid predominately women as well as underrepresented groups. Check it out below. #OSUBioE511 stemfellowships.org
